/* =====================================================================
   Item 19 — the NEW CASE announcement card (companion to
   item19-new-case-announcement.php). A full-width block in the
   general room's stream; the whole card is the link to the case
   page. It scrolls with history like any message — never pinned,
   never a banner.

   DESIGN: blog-design-tokens.css (load it first). The card uses
   the blog's badge reds — pale tint ground (--pp-red-tint), red
   line (--pp-red-line), dark red text (--pp-red-dark, the blog's
   .badge-elections text) — with the category rail's 3px red edge
   (--pp-red) on the left, the same edge the blog puts on its
   active filter item.
